Brad & Casey's Assassination Hits NYC

Molly — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 00:12:53 -0700

The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford (again, mouthful - TAOJJBTCRF? Ha) premiered in the Jolie-Pitt's home-for-now, NYC, last night. Angelina and Brad looked adequately Prom King and Queen-y alongside their friends and costars. Casey was sadly without his pregnant wife, but still hot stuff. MLP took an evening away from her new baby, who I can't wait to see, hobnobbing with the big screen elite. Meanwhile, scrufftastic George is still holding onto his lucky (luuuucky) lady Sarah Larson. How crazy must it be for her to go from reality tv show contestant to A-List arm candy in a few short weeks? Not too shabby, even just for the story. Oh, and the Clooney handsome factor can't hurt. I can't wait to see Brad and Casey take on the wild west. Yowza.

Brad Gets Congrats from the Boys in Toronto

PopSugar — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 01:04:58 -0700

Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck had lots of help from their friends for the big premiere of The Assassination of Jesse James at the Toronto Film Festival this weekend. Of course Angelina was right by Brad's side, while Matt Damon and Don Cheadle represented the Ocean's 13 crew and Ben showed the brotherly love. We can't wait to see these hot men playing bad boys on screen and it sounds like it's worth a visit to the movie theater - Brad was just awarded with the best actor title from last week's Venice film festival. He said,

"I could try to play it down, but it's great fun. The nicest thing is how excited my friends are for me and to be amongst the lineage of people that have also been bestowed this honor. It's a really nice honor."

Yay Brad! Could this be a sign of what is to come for this year's award show season? It must have been nice for Brad to have all his boys around to celebrate in his honor. These film festivals are getting us very excited for Fall Movie time!

Brad & Angie Ditch Venice (& Crazy Fans) For Deauville

Molly — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 09:05:32 -0700

Just like George, Brad and Angie took Jesse James (the full title of that movie is ridiculously long) right from Venice to the Deauville Film Festival. All of the little kiddies stayed at the hotel as mom and dad posed their way down another red carpet. Casey was adorable alongside Brad for the photocall, but his pregnant wife sat this one out. They all look fabulous and glamorous, but life must always be unimaginably crazy as some of the biggest movie stars in the world. Brad was definitely reminded of this in Venice when a fan got through security and tried to hug him. The video is below and the entire incident is over in a few seconds, but having the whole world feel like they can invade your space like that is pretty surreal.

Brad Talks More Babies at the Venice Film Festival

PopSugar — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 07:03:13 -0700

This weekend Brad and Angie got gorgeous in an old-Hollywood kind of way at the premiere of Brad's new film, The Assassination of Jesse James. Brad was a little more casual, but just as stylish, at the photo call earlier that day. Love the shades! At the events Brad was asked about his desire for more kids. His response,

"Yeah we're ready.... It's the most fun I've ever had and also the biggest pain ... I've ever experienced... I love it and can't recommend it any more highly - although sleep is nonexistent."

Having four small children "makes me much more efficient because when I work, I really have to focus. I know I've less time to get things done. Actually, I'm quite pleased by it."

We know how much Brad loves being a father. Is he dropping hints that it might not be long before they add another one to their camp? As for Casey Affleck - looks like he'll be having another child very soon. He was looking adorable with his pregnant wife Summer Phoenix at the premiere. We're going to see a lot more of Casey as he opens his brother's directorial debut of Gone Baby Gone later this year.

The Other Affleck Clan Plays in LA Too

Molly — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 09:09:06 -0700

Casey Affleck and his wife Summer Phoenix brought their two sons out for a family lunch in LA Thursday. Summer carried the baby, Atticus, while Indiana stuck by Casey's side looking every bit the mini me. The whole crew is quite the precious foursome, and while Indiana has his cousin Violet old enough to play with, baby Atticus will soon get another Affleck cousin who will grow up right behind him. Casey's been taking a break from the big screen after his big year including Gone Baby Gone and his Oscar nod for The Assassination of Jesse James, so hopefully we'll get to see the Affleck brothers and their families enjoying the endless LA Summer.

Brad, Mad, and Pax Cruise Out of Venice

PopSugar — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 10:39:53 -0700

Brad and his boys arrived in Venice for the film festival just two days ago, but they were already boarding their water taxi on their way back to France today. It was a busy couple of days for Brad dad, who posed and partied with BFF George Clooney to promote Burn After Reading and still found time to pick up a trophy for Best Actor for his work in The Assassination of Jesse James. We would have loved to see more of Pax and Maddox during their trip to Italy, but thankfully there's still that spread in W magazine to look forward to.

Brad Dad Goes West, Wild West

Molly — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 00:25:04 -0700

Maddox was back in his signature mohawk hand in hand with his mom and dad leaving his Manhattan school yesterday. Brad and Angelina had been all over the place over the past few weeks, selling magazines and whatnot, but this weekend Brad dad returns to his roots - acting on the big screen in that mouthful of a movie, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. I'm definitely curious to see this one because while I hate long movies, I love long movies starring Brad Pitt - well, hellooooo Legends of the Fall. My only gripe with this one is Brad's goatee. Buzz checked out Jesse James, liked Brad, loved Casey and thought on the whole it was pretty good - check out her whole review here.

C.A. Confidential

PopSugar — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 12:30:30 -0800

Casey Affleck perfected his smoldering stare on the red carpet for the LA Confidential party last night in honor of his magazine cover. The adorably smug actor made some big waves this year with his performances in Gone Baby Gone and The Assassination of Jesse James, and he's got the award nominations to show for it, snagging a nod for a Golden Globe, a SAG award, and an Oscar among all the other board award recognitions. In the article, Casey strays from the wisecracking smartass we've come to know and instead gets serious about making his family his number one priority and what projects he has in the works. Here are highlights:

On getting attention for his nominations and new baby: It doesn’t feel so much that way . . . life just goes on. As your family grows, they wind up being the center of attention. More than anything, I’ve gotten a lot of phone calls of congratulations, which is nice.
On Aardvark's Art Ark, the animated film he wrote and will executive produce: I just really like those kinds of movies. There ought to be more adult films that are animated - not just kids’ movies. There are really great things you can’t do with live action. Every year Pixar comes out with one of my favorite movies. . . . My project is intended for kids and adults. I’m really excited to be developing it with Warner Bros. I’d heard nightmare stories, but this has been great. It started as a story I was telling to my son and nephews. . . . It happened fast and was fun to do. It’s nice to write and not think about wanting to act in it or direct it.

As much as we love Ben, it seems like Casey is the Affleck to watch right now. Even so, we'll be looking forward to seeing both brothers on the red carpet at the SAG Awards and (hopefully) at the Academy Awards next month. P.S. If you haven't filled out your SAG ballot yet, get on it to win a free year of Netflix!

Ben Wins Best Directorial Debut

PopSugar — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 00:27:10 -0800

The Grammy nominations were announced yesterday and around the corner are the Golden Globe nominations along with plenty more critics and groups announcing their awards. Most recently the National Board of Review declared their honors and Ben Affleck should be very proud. Along with brother Casey's Best Supporting Actor win for The Assassination of Jesse James, Amy Ryan also won Best Supporting Actress for Gone Baby Gone. The biggest accomplishment is that Ben was honored with a win for Best Directorial Debut for Gone Baby Gone. This is just the start of a great holiday season for Ben!
